Food, Fitness, and Fighting Cognitive Decline-Hal Cranmer

In this episode of Decoding Health, Hal Cranmer joins to break down what assisted living really is and how it differs from other types of care models. We dive into the true purpose of hospice care and how cognitive decline, dementia, and chronic disease management are being approached today. Hal shares insight into how aggression in dementia patients is handled compassionately and how their facilities adapted during the challenges of COVID-19. We explore the vital role of food and exercise at every stage of life, the current state of healthcare in America, and the rising concern of polypharmacy—the growing reliance on multiple medications. Finally, we discuss alternative treatments and therapies that could change the future of chronic disease care.
